HK Kidnappers Tracked Down

Guangdong and Hong Kong police have jointly tracked down six kidnappers who killed a boy in Hong Kong.

The kidnappers abducted the 11-year-old boy by his school-gate in Hong Kong on July 11 and asked his parents to hand over a six- million HK dollar ransom in the mainland.

Hong Kong Police reported the case to its counterparts in neighboring Guangdong Province and asked for help the next day.

The kidnappers reduced their ransom to HK$1.4 million after bargains with the parents and pinned down the rendezvous point to Foshan, Guangdong. However, the police feared the child had been killed already, because he had no exit record and the HK- mainland border and he had not talked to the family following the kidnapping.

The police escorted the boy's father to Foshan and caught the kidnappers on the spot. Two of the six suspects admitted to killing the boy, whose corpse was found in a gutter on July 14.
